Hint oui- minds and bodies need (‘xcvoisc iiiid Tflaxalion. All of us work hard at soinc- tliiii*; from morn till niglit bnt I am sure tlnit nunc of ns have our thoughts concentrated on out' textbooks all of the time. The few minutes before meals or the afternoon hours cDuhl bo used very bvncKcially by taking either a brisk walk or by jilayiug several sets of tennis. Wo fully I'ealize the limited space with wbicli we nnist content ourselves in our nth- ietics, but tlio idle courts that one can sec at various times durin»’ tlie day do not argue the need for very extensive enlargements even if the longed-for place could be sccured. It is u[» to the studcnt-body to take every possible advantage of the material at band anl cn-ate a strong sentiment and actual demand for a high standard of athletics, a plenty of room for good out-door courts, as well ns for tlic mnch-dreanicd-of new gymnasium. But, un less we begin planning for tliem now the en- th\isiasm wil be short-lived when the collcgi- is really moved to the new site, and the stu dents will settle into the same rut of inditt'- ercnce and pretended interest in studies alone. Tho expression, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” has been applied in various ways, twisted around, and played upon in almost every conceivable manner. Yet the original remains vei*y true to tho av erage program of the college girl, Wliy is it that we had such surplus energy, a healthy body, and a ravenous appetite not so many ages ago in our high school lays? And now, wlien tlie lovely spring days come wc find ourselves tired, discontented Avith nearly everything and everybody around the collego, .ind we arc never free from a lazy, sleepy feeling which should be spent between ten- ihirty and seven-thirty tho next morning, o^o cxen.sc! All work niul no play nuikes any one tired and dull—and if wc do not take personal inventories and realize that play is \ necessary factor in our daily schedules Ave must pay heavily later in the years when we- will wish in vain for hap])y and beautiful per sonalities, keen minds, and strong bodies. MEREDITH Y. W. C. A. CABINET ATTENDS TRAINING COUNCIL (Continued from pnge I) The devotions and services of intercession which were led by Miss Heller were both im pressive and inspiring, silence and solitude !>eing eni])liasizcd. In addition to these there were the various gr(uip meetings of the different ottiecrs and (-liairnien. These ])roved quite helpful. Ks])ecially interesting and u])lifting wei'e fh(‘ sei-ies of talks by Dr. liondfhaler, Presi- di-nt of Salem College. ITis ]n'ineipal theme was “flaking use of Christ.” Dr- Kond- ihaler has an uinisually striking 'j'crsonality. Me speaks in a forceful bnt (piict dignifieil mamier. On Sunday night at the Council, Prof. Lindcman of the ^^^orth Carolina College for Women gave an adress on “Christian Inter nationalism.” I’liis was es]ieeially interest ing and impressive because the S])eaker pie- iiired true conditions in the stricken countries of liurope as lie himself saw them. The great importance of Y. W. C. A. Avork tliore and the sii])reme need of Christian citi?.en- ship all over the world Avas shoAvn. 'I'he hos])itality of the Salem girls and fae- idty as well neetls special mention. Every one was congenial and friendly—this addeil much to the enjoyment of the time by the visitors. 'Pho colleges represented were Trinity, (h’ecnsboro College, Js”. C. C. W, Salem, Win- thro]>, Meredith. 'I’hc delegates from Meredith Avere: Eli^^a- betli Kendrick, Pauline Patton, Phyllis iEays, Snsie TTcrring, Louise P>oAvden, Lela Cobb, Mildred Taylor, Mary Powell, Josey and ilnrvello M. Farlaud.

REFLECTIONS I am your college! !Make of me what you will—I shall reflect you as clearly as a mirror throws back a candle beam. "Will it be that which is high, noble, and good,—or that which causes the humiliating scandal ? If I am pleasing to the eye of the stranger within my realms, sneh that he will always remember nte as a thing of beauty, the creilit is yours. While, on the other hand, if I re flect that Avhich is displeasing and wicked,— the discredit is yours. ify danghtei-s are being called to high tasks and mighty privileges by andjition and op])or- tnnity, and if they fail, I have failed. Bnt if they say, “She can, who thiids she can,”— an«l ever strive to reach the next highest step to success, there can be no failures. iAfy strength is in those who are Avith me now, ])re]>aring for lives of usefulness and service, far and near. 'I’liose who in mv darkest hours arc still loyal to me, those Avho seeing me in need, sym])athize, and lend a helping hand; tlio>c wlio, in my success, re joice Avith me, always accejiting the higher ideals with Avhich T ins])ire them. ^lany lives are representing me throughout the land—how about yours—is the reflection a clear, ])ure, lofty one? T am more than wood and stone and brick —more even than flesh and blood—T am th‘ compounded so\i| of all who call me “Alma Jlater”—T am your collcge- IIeLEX pLA’IiON. CHAUiriXG SKXIOR i\Viri'V On Sunday morning, April 2, at einht o clock, Jfisscs Hart, Ciibsi>n, and ^Matthews entertained the mend)ers of the Senior class, at a charming breakfast jiarty. given at “The Jran-in-the-^foon Inn.” A delicious menu was servcl, consisting of strawberries and bananas, ])ork chops, ricc, toast, and coiVee with unwhi])])cd cream. This Avas one of the most enjoyable Senior ]iarties given this year, and each girl Avent away voicing to her host esses that she had had the “best time ever.” 'iriianks to Mr. Grogan avc will have a new tennis court finished this week, so get your racquets re-strung and be ready to use tliem. Sarah N’ooo aviII gladly advise you as to Avhere you can have it done the quickest and for the most reasonable price. ]3uy a “sun shade” and take advantage of every spare minute In hiking, practicing for the finals, and at the same time get real pleasure in be ing out of doors. A light that is faster and better than sun light is needed in the routine testing of ma terials for their resistance to its destructive action. The sunlight method is so slow ns to defeat its own purpose in the control of factory products or tho examination of in coming materials.
